NYC Day Care Map

The Map that Cares

Many parents confront the daunting task of finding suitable day care in New York City but find the array of resources lacking. Information about licensed day care centers are scattered among different agencies, difficult to use, and near impossible to make meaningful comparisons.

The goal of the NYC Day Care Map is to build a day care portal that provides the latest information within an easy-to-use mobile footprint. A one-stop map of all regulated child care options in the five boroughs that includes center-based group child care as well as home-based day care.
